Have an Urgent Dental Need During the COVID-19 Pandemic? Here’s a Way to Find Help

By Anne Blythe March 29, 2020 North Carolina Health News

Though many dentists across the state have stopped doing routine cleanings, elective surgery and some of their other non-urgent care during the COVID-19 pandemic, some continue to provide emergency service.

By doing so, the dentists can help to keep those patients from seeking care in emergency rooms across the state, preserving as many resources as possible to care for those affected by any swift-moving and highly contagious coronavirus outbreaks.

To make it easier for people with dental needs to find a practice or clinic that can help them during these unprecedented times, the North Carolina Oral Health Collaborative has developed a map showing the status of providers across the state.
